Who Pays for Tree Trimming? -- Property Owner or Neighbor
The leaves of the trees on my property grow over the fence and hang over into my neighbor's yard. Am I responsible for paying for trimming the leaves on my neighbor's side of the propery ? Thanks.

it is not clear, you may or may not be. A small claims case could go either way. He does have the right to trim the tree on his side. if the tree or leaves were doing some damage or making a mess them it would be more likely you would get hit with the bill.
